The 2009 Nissan Versas in this analysis were driven mostly on the highway at an average speed of 95 miles per hour (about 65.7 percent of the miles driven). The rest of the miles were in heavy traffic (27.1 percent), in the city (5.7 percent), and in the suburbs (0 percent).

In addition, the average 2009 Nissan Versa in this analysis was driven on flat terrain with a light foot and the AC not used at all.

Averaging 30-31 miles per gallon, mostly highway miles, lowest average was 29.12 mpg. At around 2.50 a gallon, it takes me less than $30 to fill up. Range gives for about 360 or so miles.

4dr Hatch 122-horsepower 1.8L I46-speed manual FWD

While the Versa does not have the greatest fuel economy, it was significantly better than any of the Subarus I wanted, and the fuel economy is comparable to other compact hatchbacks.

4dr Hatch 122-horsepower 1.8L I46-speed manual FWD

Good gas mileage, especially for the good amount of room in the front and back seats. Also,lots of cars with good mileage have poor safety ratings due to their lack of mass. The Versa has the best safety rating of the small cars, and sits up higher.

Anecdotally I have heard that the Versa gets significantly worse mileage than it is supposed to get (which is worse than the Fit to start with), whereas I get better mileage with my Fit than it is rated for.
